Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-42758 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet FortiWLC. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42758/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42758/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-42758","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42758/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-42758","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-85xx-79fp-6rmf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiWLC","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated low-privilege attackers can bypass GUI restrictions to execute arbitrary commands as admin on FortiWLC devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fortinet","cpe":[{"product":"fortiwlc","vendor":"fortinet"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:U/RC:R","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"An improper access control vulnerability [CWE-284] in FortiWLC 8.6.1 and below may allow an authenticated and remote attacker with low privileges to execute any command as an admin user with full access rights via bypassing the GUI restrictions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiWLC","id":"CVE-2021-42758","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in Fortinet Meru AP","id":"CVE-2021-42759"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in FortiADC","id":"CVE-2021-42757"},"products":["Fortinet FortiWLC"],"published":"2021-12-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in FortiWLC","id":"CVE-2017-17539","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in FortiWLC","id":"CVE-2017-17540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7560","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-05"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Fortinet FortiWLC","id":"CVE-2016-8491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-01"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7341","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-26"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7561","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-25","vendors":["Fortinet"]},"summary":"Authenticated low-privilege attackers can bypass GUI restrictions to execute arbitrary commands as admin on FortiWLC devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-42758/"}
